The Catholic Diocese of Charleston on Thursday refuted claims made in a federal lawsuit filed Monday that the Diocese colluded with lawyers representing past victims of sexual abuse.

The Diocese of Charleston reached a settlement in a class-action lawsuit on January with victims of sexual abuse in 2007.

The settlement paid a total of $10 million to sex abuse victims, their spouses and parents.

The lawsuit filed Monday came after the South Carolina Supreme Court refused to hear a similar case claiming collusion.
